Month: July 2012

With recent flooding of the Fraser River, much of the Glen Valley Organic Farm Co-op in Abbotsford is under water. These farmers have lost over $40,000 in crops. Please help and donate to the flood relief effort for the farm! VanCity is currently offering matching funds for every donation–donate to the farm have your contribution doubled!

With a little help from you and me, these farmers will stay in business this season and remain for future seasons–help preserve a local farm! The land underneath is unharmed and these farmers are struggling to get ready to replant as soon as the water levels go down in the coming weeks. Glen Valley Organic Farm Co-op is home to multiple small farms, those worst hit are Close To Home Organics and Pitchfork Organic Farm. To learn more or donate to the relief effort, visit: glenvalleyfarmflood.org or phone volunteer organizer Joanna Michal at 604-222-0262.

Honoring Coast Salish Lands and Water

We recognize that we live and work on unceded Coast Salish land and serve many Indigenous communities who live in our neighbourhood. We believe that those of us who are settlers on this land have a deep responsibility to address colonial systems of power and oppression, most importantly as they impact Indigenous people and their food systems today. It is through this understanding that we are working to develop a decolonization framework through which all our future programs will be planned and implemented.
